Following BC's lead, Alberta has agreed to issue a birth certificate showing a changed gender to 12 year old Wren Kauffman, and the certificate was presented to Wren at a Pride celebration in Edmonton by the Minister. Wren's story is hereIn BC recent changes to the law make it possible for anyone, including minors, to change the sex designation on their birth certificate if a doctor or psychologist certifies that their original gender on their birth certificate does not conform to their gender identity. But Harriette Cunningham is fighting to have ALL gender markers removed from birth certificates. Having either an M or an F doesn't work, ever, for three classes of people: intersex people, people who later transition from their birth-recorded gender (but have to spend years with the wrong gender marker) and people whose gender is neither, or both, M/F, or something else entirely. Harriette has a human rights complaint in the works.
